State v. Benton

Supreme Court of New Jersey

Decided May 5, 1926

Supreme Court of New Jersey · decided 1926-05-05

Decided 1926-05-05

Pee Curiam.

¶1The defendant in this case was convicted on an indictment charging him with embezzling moneys belonging to one Anna Lee.

¶2The first ground npon which the plaintiff in error seeks a reversal of this conviction is directed at the alleged Illegal admission of testimony of Anna Lee. Our examination of this testimony leads us to the conclusion that it was properly admitted.

¶3The second contention is that the trial court erroneously refused to direct the jury to acquit the defendant. This motion, we think, was properly refused, there being testimony to support the contention of the state that the defendant was guilty as charged.

¶4The last ground for reversal argned by counsel for the defendant is that the verdict of the jury was against the weight of the evidence. No assignment nor reason, however, has been filed raising this question.

¶5The judgment under review will be affirmed.
